George, Assuming you are using Outlook and not Outlook Express then all you need to do is copy the .pst file. The easiest way to find this is to click "File/Data file management" from the mani menu bar and then select the .pst file and click "open folder".
Make sure that you don't have an archive .pst file somewhere that you forget to copy over. By default, M$ put the .pst files in hidden folders i.e: C:\Documents and Settings\<<user name>>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook So, to navigate to them you need to set hidden files to be shown in widows explorer.

Can I simply copy the files to the new drive and if so which files need to be copied? Or, is there a better way.
